So apparently this is the power draw for the new 58xx cards

This seems very low to me since apparently my 8800gt has an idle of 128 and a peak load of over 220.

I'm assuming there must be two different forms of measurement going on here.
Also if the 5870 only requires 18w more than the 5850 and considerably less than my 8800gyt how come it requires 2 power connectors?
This is probably a really noobish set of questions but I find it pretty confusing.
